I was working on this card for the washi tape Ways to use It challenge when I saw that my card also fit the Teapot Tuesday challenge as well (butterflies and blue). I wasn't intending for it to look like a giant Easter egg, so I guess the choice of an oval aperture wasn't the best way to go; I should have used a circle. It's an assortment of spring-themed decorative tape covered by an embossed blue layer with the die-cut aperture. Sentiment is heat embossed in white. Filigreed butterfly (die from Simon Says Stamp) is perched on the edge of the oval.

Absolutely gorgeous. Love the soft colors and Easter is symbol of hope - probably just what Carolyn needs right now. Love, love the EF, can I ask where did you get it? Thanks for coming to the party.

You're like me...I never really know what I'm going to get, until I finish the card. It's lovely...the embossing detail, and the delicate butterfly. She'll love it.

Beautiful. Lovely soft colors. Gorgeous tape. I like your idea to put the tape in strips to show through the opening. The embossing is so pretty. Very nicely done. Thanks for the idea and for sharing!

you've proven to me you're a whiz with that washi tape, girl. Very creative. Don't see much you in the gallery anymore so it's a joy to see you here today.
